nā´hal - al ( נחלל , naḥălāl ; Codex Vaticanus, Βαιθμάν , Baithmán ; Codex Alexandrinus Νααλώλ , Naalṓl , and other forms): A city in the territory of Zebulun assigned with its suburbs to the Merarite Levites, out of which the Canaanite inhabitants were not driven ( Joshua 19:15 , the King James Version (incorrectly) "Nahallal"; 21:35; Judges 1:30 , "Nahalol"). In the Talmud Jerusalem (Meg ., i. 1) it is identified with Mahlul. This name might correspond either with ‛Ain Māhil , or with Ma‛lūl . The former lies about 3 1/2 miles Northeast of Nazareth on a hill near the eastern boundary of Zebulun. The latter is situated about 3 1/2 miles West of Nazareth, near the southern border of Zebulun. The change of "n" to "m" is not unusual.
